Freight Train I don't remember which show it was exactly, as this happened about 12 years ago and they tend to have a lot of small shows around here. But in a nut shell,yes they did tell him not to come back with green iron. A lot of the cruise in's and...

Hey, A friend of mine brought his M221 (M211 family variant) tractor truck to a local car show. They let him attend, they also told him not to come back with an MV ...

MadDawg308 That BTR40 you posted an image of is for sale again on David Uhrig's website. If I'm not mistaken, the inspiration for the BTR40 was the US M3A1 scout car that the Soviets received in large numbers through lend lease...

Hey guys thanks for your input (so far :wink: ) I'm aware that there are lots of folks ahead of the US tax payer who get first pick of any of Unc Sam's gear when he's done with it. I also understand that foreign armies would only be interested in...

Hey! Ok I don't have any pictures of an M54 for you to look at because I'm not looking at a specific truck! That being said, I wanted to get the opinions of SS members on this: With the military dumping all of the 800 & 900 series 5 ton trucks, Does this have (if...

Devilman96 Thanks for your post w/pics & info! I've seen the A3 combat rims on the trucks but never paid a lot of attention to them that closely. 1stDeuce that is an interesting rim. 12 hole pattern? I looked in some...

MD308,54reo Thanks for your replies. I am aware of the WW II style combat rims that were used on the 2.5 ton trucks. I think those rims were used mostly on the DUKWs rather than the standard cargo CCKW. I have seen a photo of an...

Hello I really like the look of the 5 ton combat rims on the 800 & 900 series 5 tons. Do they make that type or rim (bolt together) for the M35 deuce...

Mike I've seen some photos of deuces (and 5 tons) that were chopped into 4X4s and the fuel tank was relocated to the front of (and in) the bed behind the cab...

halftrack It's always amazing to me that these things still turn up from time to time on military rez's. It is also sad knowing that that particular Mutt, can never be saved from it's eventual fate (crusher). The NG armory behind my house had a Dodge M880 up...

A slight correction here: Saturn Surplus is in Millersburg, PA and White Owl parts is located in Kinston,NC. Unless there's another parts place known as "Whiteowl"? FWIW, I've dealt with Saturn Surplus on an...

Hello A friend of mine had one of those "dragon wagons" and they are a BEAST of a truck! Everything is giant on them. If you have the space and capabilities to do so (or know someone who has) save that rig! They are quite rare over here in the states...

Mike_pop Thanks for your input! What you've posted is what I've always heard about the Volvos and 'was the reason why I wanted one. It was a tactical MV that wasn't so doggy on the road! The Volvo also has some rakkish lines to it that I find appealing as...

6x6pinz Thanks for posting that link! I've been considering a TGB 1111 for a while and have found one for sale. All the research I've done to date on Vovo TGBs pointed to the positive on them but there was always something just under the surface that no one wanted to...

Kcimb The M75 APC was introduced during the Korean War and was originally built by International harvester and then by FMC it predates both the M114 & M113. The M75's immediate replacement was the M59 APC built by FMC who later went on to build the...

Super Dave Congrats on your purchase! I didn't know that the Canadians did those mods to their M35s. I think I like those mods better than the M35A3 but, what I really like are the "combat" rims on (your?) the Canadian trucks! I wonder if those are...

Hey fellows! I don't remember the name of the particular Elvis movie it was in but there was a real nice M37 (B1?) in one of his movies. It was in GI (Army) livery with it's windshield folded and no canvas being driven by a pretty woman (big surprise...

FT From what I remember about the Urals, Their top speed was in the 50s and they got about 24 MPG (I could be wrong about the MPG). These machines are slow because like all MVs, they were designed for off road use. They are available stateside infact, there is...

pa. Rich They may have removed the tracks so that the vehicles would roll easier. Tracks provide a great deal of "rolling resistance" when you have to push/pull an imobile AFV around with another rig...

RE: Movie M17 AN/GRC-46 I was curious as to what is the vehicle Indiana Jones swings in to/on to when he's in that warehouse? Is it an M35? I've only seen the commercials for the movie and I'm not sure if I'll go and see it or not...
